The children at a local park think the slide is too slow there is to much frictionWhat could you do to decrease the amount of friction on the slide?
astroglide
How can you reduce the amount of friction on a slide?
One of the things you could do is you could put soap and water on the slide.
How can a wet surface affect friction?
Water can make a flat surface more slippery, which will decrease the amount of friction
Is friction useful when you are on a slide?
if there was no friction on a slide, you would gain speed and slide off and depending on the slide (such as a water slide) kill yourself. too much friction makes it boring.
Is friction useful when are going down a slide?
Friction will cause heat, so you will slide and have a warm behind but friction will also slow you down on a slide

How do you decrease the amount of force needed to do work?
Decrease friction.

What could you do to either increase or decrease the amount of friction?
add or remove lube
Do ball bearings increase or decrease friction?
Decrease friction .
Is the amount of friction greater between rough surfaces or smooth surfaces why?
Rough because it takes longer to slide and gets more friction

How do skaters decrease sliding friction?
by using a lubricant to decrease the friction.
What type of friction is present when you slide down a water slide?
Fluid friction

How is friction applied?
Friction is applied, by making the surface of whatever you want to slide across it (the thing you want to apply friction to) is really rough. You can inscrease, and decrease the amount of friction acting on an object by changing the texture, material and smoothness of the surface. Smoother surfaces don't apply much friction to objects, and rougher surfaces apply a lot. An example of this, is Wellington Boots. They have rough underneaths, so you don't fall over - they apply a lot of friction.
